"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Tian Qing and others were dragging their sleds and preparing to cross the Yellow River. Suddenly, a cavalry group appeared on the other side, pointing their swords directly at them.

"What's going on? Didn't we agree to let us enter Guanzhong? Why did it suddenly change?"

"We're fucked!"

"You should have left earlier."

The faces of Tian Qing and others were full of despair.

The person who stopped them was none other than the young master Zha Li who had been slapped by Li Huai. He also had Ye Kangning beside him.

After the Xifeng Chamber of Commerce was disbanded, Zha Li used some means to work as an errand in Shangjun, Guanzhong.

Chang'an City now belongs to the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, and Li Huai forcibly severed the relationship between Ye Kangning and Princess Chang'an.

Ye Kangning couldn't find anything to do in Chang'an City, so he consulted his father Ye Qi, hoping that Ye Qi could give him some advice.

Ye Qi gave him four words after considering various aspects including his understanding of his son and his abilities.

"Eating and waiting to die!"

Ye Kangning obviously did not adopt Ye Qi's suggestion, so he left Chang'an and ran to Shangjun to continue fooling around with Zha Li.

His father, Ye Qi, was after all a consort and a marquis. Although he had lost his status as a prince of Chang'an, he was still a member of the first-class aristocratic family in Guanzhong.

Zha Li ignored the previous suspicion and took him in.

Ye Kangning looked at the people on the Yellow River and said: "Master Cha, they are all enemies of Li Huai. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Why don't we turn a blind eye and let them enter the pass?"

Zha Li sighed helplessly and said, "I also want to let them enter Guanzhong, but I can't."

"Why?" Ye Kangning asked.

"A few days ago, Li Huai sent an envoy with his royal order to deliver a letter to Guanzhong. The letter said that corrupt officials from Jiuyuan would cross the Yellow River and enter Guanzhong. Basically, all officials of Guanzhong, big and small, received the letter.

." Charlie explained.

Ye Kangning was still puzzled and said: "He is the king of Liangzhou, there is no need for Guanzhong officials to listen to him."

Charlie glared at him speechlessly, why didn't this idiot understand this, so he had to explain it to him patiently.

"Li Huai is the king of Liangzhou, but the official is an official of the imperial court. He knew that corrupt officials were entering Guanzhong and did not stop them. If it is a small matter, it is a crime of neglect of investigation. If it is a serious matter, it is an accomplice and will be punished with the same crime.

Who dares to bet?"

Even if Zha Li's brother-in-law, Shen Tuzai, had all the power to put these people into Guanzhong, wouldn't the other officials in Guanzhong secretly report them?

How many people are looking forward to seizing Shen Tuzai's handle. How can we not be careful when doing things, otherwise, disaster will come one day.

Ye Kangning suddenly realized that he still had another question, "Then let's just arrest these people and confiscate their property. This is all thanks to Mr. Cha."

Charlie's chest suddenly felt tight, and he regretted taking in this idiot, so he calmly explained to him.

"I want to confiscate one tael of silver today. If Li Huai dares to say that he has lost ten taels tomorrow, then I have to hand over ten taels. The account book is not with us, do you understand?"

This case happened in Jiuyuan, and the account book is also in Jiuyuan. It is impossible for them to reach out, so it is best not to do anything.

If there is really going to be a big fuss, will the court take the royal family's face into consideration? Or will it give him face as a gift?

Even if you think about it with your butt, you will know the result.

That's when.

He was not allowed to pay ten times the amount of money as a gift, but he personally returned it to Li Huai. Isn't this just sticking his face out to be beaten?

Ye Kangning was disappointed for a moment. He thought this was an opportunity for revenge, but he didn't expect that they were here to help Li Huai.

depressed!

"but."

Zha Li changed the subject, sneered, and said: "According to my information, they have sold almost all the grain grown in Jiuyuan. Now Jiuyuan can be said to have this or that. When the ice and snow melt and spring begins,

The people of Jiuyuan can't do anything."

"And I only need to guard the gate and prevent a grain of food from flowing into Jiuyuan. It will be impossible for him to clean up this mess."

Why did Zha Li come to Shangjun as an errand?

That's because Shangjun is the closest to Liangzhou, just across the Yellow River, so he can continue the game with Li Huai!

He lost the last game.

However, Zha Li thought that he had lost unjustly. He had no idea that Li Huai would go around hundreds of miles and have to go to Chang'an.

He had no preparation and was caught off guard by Li Huai, which is why he lost to the West Wind Chamber of Commerce.

This time.

He would not give Li Huai any chance to turn around.

Ye Kangning also sneered: "If there is a riot in Jiuyuan, and the court wants to appease the mob, it will have no choice but to take action on him, Prince Liang."

Ha ha!

The two laughed proudly.

"Look!"

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the wind and snow were rolling unnaturally, and there were many human figures moving among them.

"It's Yan Gaoyang!"

"They're catching up."

"Let's run!"

Tian Qing and others turned pale with fright, held their heads and ran toward the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Shoot arrows in front of them. Anyone who lands on the south bank will be killed!" Zha Li ordered.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arrows fell in front of them, and everyone stopped immediately and looked at the ruthless soldiers on the other side.

Blocking their only way to survive.

Many people broke down and cried.

Others opened the box and picked up handfuls of banknotes.

"These are all for you, let us pass."

"Please."

"We can give you all the money."

now.

Which of them doesn't regret that they have embarked on this dead end?

Lao Yiyi grabbed Tian Qing's collar, "You promised back then that you would ensure that we escape unscathed and enjoy the glory and wealth together. I don't ask for any extravagance. Tell me, where is our way out?"

Tian Qing looked very calm. He turned his head and looked to the southeast, a little forlorn, and said indifferently: "We have been betrayed."

"Who betrayed us?" Lao Zhou asked.

Tian Qing shook his head, "Don't say it!"

When Lao Zhou heard these three words, he couldn't help but smile miserably, "We are about to die without a burial place, and you are still hiding it, Tian Qing, Magistrate Tian, ​​I really admire you!"

He weakly let go of Tian Qing's collar.

"I am also stupid. I left the good Taicheng alone and colluded with you. I deserve this end!"

Ha ha!

Lao Zhou smiled crazily, picked up the banknotes in the box, and threw them into the sky crazily, "Why are you still guarding these things? They are all reserved for others!"

Not long.

Yan Gaoyang came to the north bank of the Yellow River and saw Tian Qing and others on the Yellow River glacier. They had not yet crossed the river.

Slightly relieved.

"I have been ordered by King Liang to arrest you all and bring them to justice. Why don't you just surrender and arrest them?"

…

The gate of the Prefect's Mansion.

Snap!

Li Huai took out the grain stamps and slapped them in front of Lu Youqi's eyes, "Did you put the official seal on it?"

Lu Youji didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head, "Yes!"

Bang!

Li Huai kicked him, and Lu Youji did some somersaults and rolled to the snow. He quickly got up and knelt down again.

"Your Majesty..." Qu Meifang felt sorry for her man and wanted to ask for mercy, but when she met Li Huai's murderous eyes, she held back her words again.
